A hot bath and a glass of wine - it's like peanut butter and jelly. Only way better.

The top five reasons I took a glass of wine to my bathtub at 7:45 tonight:

.

1.We sang “Sing about Martin” at least a thousand times today. Then I spent fifteen minutes persuading Jack that singing “Jingle Bells Batman Smells” was STILL not appropriate in kindergarten.

2.We played a rousing game of four corners, and after closing my eyes and counting to twenty I opened them to discover that I was holding a plastic tiger by the tail. I didn’t even KNOW I had a plastic tiger in the room. (I am losing my mind.)

3.It took me ten minutes to convince Sally that we don’t say “Hell to the No” in kindergarten. (And especially not to the teacher.)

4.After teaching the kids that camels can close their nostrils in order to keep the sand out, I watched George spend his “craft time” trying his hardest to keep his own nostrils shut. It was not pretty.

5.Bryce decided to moon the jam-packed cafeteria today after he emptied his lunch tray. He claims the devil made him do it.

Hope you also have some good associations with wine - after all its nectar of the gods and not all gods did all bad things!

Just curious, I try to fit new knowledge into a conversation during the day so I have a chance to remember it. I am a little stymied for a lead-in for how camels can close their nostrils to keep sand out. . . .faithful follower

I have had many days like that, but what made me laugh the most was when you wrote that Bryce decided to moon the jam-packed cafeteria because the devil made him do it. About four years ago a student pulled his pants down in Art... and showed every child his frontal parts....his excuse, "His brain was getting hot" So now it is confirmed to me that boys and mens brains are in their pants and not in their heads like women. Enjoy the wine!

Don't forget to tip the waitress. I really DO live on tips....

Cause I know you want to buy stuff...

About Me

I am a teacher, a writer, and the mother of three children. I've decided I'll never give up. No matter how many battles I lose; no matter how many tears I shed; no matter how many martinis I have to drink, I will continue to fight the good fight! I love to laugh, believe that every day is a new day, and thank God each morning that I am still here.
